Information
Date and time SS Information
25.10.2015 12:10 23 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We had a perfect run, we had a good run, if Andreas is having a better run, then respect. With the set-up I have with two spares, I cannot do a better run.
25.10.2015 11:10 22 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's very exciting going into the last stage. We need to keep pushing - that's the reality. There is smoke in our car, the jack was banging around in the back and some oil is burning.
25.10.2015 11:10 21 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): No clear impact, a small stone in a cut perhaps. Now the difference is too big, I cannot fight back.
25.10.2015 11:10 21 (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): front right puncture
25.10.2015 10:10 20 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I'm fighting a little bit with the car because the extra spare wheel we have is making me understeer a bit. Maybe not the cleverest choice but we were in safe mode.
25.10.2015 15:10 19 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Andreas is driving well. We have two spares and it's affecting the balance, making the car understeer a little.
25.10.2015 15:10 18 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I was very careful in the dirty cuts. It's an exciting fight.
25.10.2015 01:10 17 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The speed has been there, for sure this morning was not going the way I wanted, with the bad feeling with the brakes. I know the performance and the speed is there. This time I think I was a little bit unlucky as the brakes were not there and it was confusing my driving. For tomorrow everything needs to be working well.
25.10.2015 00:10 16 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): This is my favourite stage. The car is like a race car and this is like a circuit. After the stress earlier everything is working better now. It's a good fightback.
25.10.2015 00:10 15 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was alright. We had a puncture after 1 km on the first pass here so I couldn't push as hard as I wanted.
25.10.2015 14:10 14 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's getting exciting now. I might be attacking too hard in the corners. I know I can improve on the stages to come.
25.10.2015 00:10 13 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We have to fight for second place. That's all we can do. Now I have a good feeling. A nice pace. Enjoying the driving.
24.10.2015 12:10 12 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I have been fighting all morning with the brakes. I got them right here and attacked. My mistake though, I cut in a corner and hit concrete. I broke the tyre or wheel straight away. We drove 10 km like this. The podium is the target now.
24.10.2015 12:10 12 (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): puncture
24.10.2015 12:10 11 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I managed to do it a little bit better. It is not on the level where it should be. I don't have a chance. There is air in the system but we didn't have enough time on the road section to get it out.
24.10.2015 11:10 10 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I have brake problems. I can´t drive with the brakes like this, I have no chance today with the brakes like this.
23.10.2015 17:10 9 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Seb did very well. There were so many cuts in there, so much stuff on the road, I couldn't drive like I did earlier. A few small mistakes early on, but I couldn't have done much better. We are on the pace, much better that last year, so anything is still possible.
23.10.2015 16:10 8 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is a good feeling going on. I am enjoying the driving, the car feels good. You enjoy these moments when the car goes like you think.
23.10.2015 16:10 7 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a good stage, nice feeling to drive on this stage and the grip was quite high. Happy with everything.
23.10.2015 15:10 6 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): A completely different approach to this morning. I had some attack. I was not thinking too much about my tyres, I have two spares.
23.10.2015 12:10 5 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Towards the end it started to get quite difficult with the tyres but I think we managed it quite well. I drove completely differently this time to last year - the car setup is changed and my approach to the corners is a lot more brave.
23.10.2015 11:10 4 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was alright, some places I was a little bit tight, but I can improve for the next one. The tyres are ok, no problem with the tyres.
23.10.2015 11:10 3 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I did a little bit of changes with the setup, but also with the mind. I try to push, more for the driving. The braking points and the way you attack through the corners, that is where it is coming from.
22.10.2015 20:10 1 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I didn't scrub my tyres so much, and I knew the others would do that more, but even so the time is a bit of a disappointment.
